    Anybody know a RIC number on this and what the reverse inscription is? Also I've read that the two characters standing are Pinannes(?) Who are they supposed to be and why were they used here? I can make out the obverse inscription. I liked this one because both were holding a Roman standard and it's a sharp strike with the two on the reverese compared to others I've seen. I'm honestly not trying to collect them all. Just good looking ones grab me. I think this one is supposed to be around 40% silver. 249-251 AD

    Trajan Decius
    A.D. 249- 251
    AR Antoninianus
    IMP C M Q TRAIANVS DECIVS AVG; radiate, draped & cuirassed bust right.
    PANNONIAE; the two Pannoniae standing front holding standards.
    RIC IV Rome 21b

    The figures on the reverse are personifications of the province of Pannonia...at the time there were two division in Pannonia; which is why there are two figures.

    The Pannoniae are the two provinces of Pannonia : Pannonia Superior (capital Canuntum, today near Petronell, Austria) and Pannonia Inferior (capital Aquincum, today Budapest, Hungary).
    The emperor Decius was born in Pannonia Inferior, in the village of Budalia near Sirmium (today Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia).
